Is Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in Russia?

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is in Russia, raising questions about the recent deal that supposedly ended Prigozhin's uprising against the Kremlin. The whereabouts of Prigozhin could not be independently verified, but Russian media have reported sightings of him at his offices in St. Petersburg. The deal allowed Prigozhin to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and promising amnesty for him and his troops. However, if Prigozhin is indeed in Russia, it suggests that the threat posed by him may not have been fully eliminated. It also raises concerns about the loyalty of the troops who fought alongside him. President Putin has said that the Wagner troops can join the Russian military, retire from service, or move to Belarus. The details of the agreement brokered by Lukashenko remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether Prigozhin's presence in Russia violates the deal. The Kremlin has refused to comment on his whereabouts, stating that it does not have the means to track his movements.
